Hazel Findlay Country Manor celebrates 40th Anniversary
with an album by Maralyn Fink
Hazel Findlay celebrated their 40th Anniversary Celebration during Skilled Nursing Care Week May 9 – 13.
The festivities began on Monday with a petting zoo and ended on Friday with live music with Jim Pontack.
I attended the Hazel Findlay Prom on Thursday evening. Everyone was having a great time. As a former employee, I remember helping them get dressed in their finest for the event.
Sparrow nurses honored during Nurses Week
Sparrow Hospital and Sparrow’s Community Hospitals honored thousands of nurses during this Nurses Week, celebrating the impact they’ve had on countless lives through their passion, compassion, skills, and commitment.
There were two honorees at Sparrow Clinton Hospital, Melissa Ball, RN, and Sandy Ward, BSN, RN. Ball’s nomination form said her “never-ending compassion for life, nursing and individuals she cares for is demonstrated daily.” Ward was lauded for providing “amazing care” to patients by phone and in-person.
This year’s National Nurses Week theme was “rooted in strength,” appropriate since Sparrow nurses have shown incredible fortitude during these past two years of the worst health crisis of our lifetime.
Nurses Week concluded with ceremonies and recognition at several Sparrow sites of care.
